That guy has way too much time on his hands to be thinking of stuff like that!!

I have been facinated with CG ever since a certain blonde in high school. I began to wonder how she could stand up correctly. Now those were a pair of applications of theory, 'eh Bill?(I see Lost aggressiva lurking) Then I discovered females have a lower CG than guys. What can I say, it snowballed from there...

You think that's bad, get him started on how costly foam tires are, but rubber tyres, though having less grip overall, are more pleasing to the overall racing experience. He could probably fill up a whole page on his own.... To which I can only nod my head and respond with a "Yeah, I know."

'I WONT ONE OF THOSE' im refering to the Type R of course, and not to the wheel chair

We here in the UK don't use foams, as peeps moan that they 'Chunk' I personally prefere rubber racing, none of the role out stuff and truing tyers every run. We ran in a series called the STCC at the weekend http://pasadena.directrouter.com/~clubmans/sys/ and they have a cotrolled tyre made by Corally and are very durable and last all day, 3 rounds and 3 finals and still are good at the end of the day for practice at the next venue.

My problem is those early experiments don't translate well with RC cars. They have no elbows to touch behind their back...

On the Horizon site they list two diff. front and rear arms for this car. The parts list that came with the manual says that A-2223 front arms & A-1217 rear arms are EA3 ($7.50). Am I wrong? Horizon does'nt list them as EA3. They also have two other part #'s A-9862 rear & A-9742 ($11) front arms as EA3 . What gives? Can any Factory/team guys clarify this? Did the kit come with plastic or EA3 arms? Why does Horizon show diff?

Kit finished, hope to run it Friday or Saturday at Aldershot, weather permitting.
Got to work on a setup.

Please let me know how you get on. There will be a guy there called Dion, pretty good driver with a 007 in 19t see how you fair against him, but please let me know how the car feels.

LOSA2223 and LOSA1217 are the long front and rear arms and they are EA3. THe LOSA9862 and LOSA9742 is the original JRXS arms that are EA3. Sorry for the confusion.
